An intrinsic decline of accretion activity in GRS 1915+105

Poshak Gandhi, Peter G. Boorman

The canonical microquasar GRS 1915+105 is exhibiting unprecedented changes in its multiwavelength properties since 2018. Recent pointed observations with NuSTAR in November 2025 ha…

GATOS XIV: The first direct kinematic evidence of dusty outflows from AGN via PAH kinematics of local Seyfert galaxies with JWST

Fergus R. Donnan, Ismael García-Bernete, Dimitra Rigopoulou +30

We present the first spatially resolved kinematic evidence for dust in the outflows of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We utilise observations from JWST with NIRSpec IFU and MIRI MRS…

GATOS N: Extended circumnuclear dust emission in nearby Seyfert galaxies surveyed by JWST/MIRI

David J. Rosario, Houda Haidar, Steph Campbell +32

The subarcsecond angular resolution and stable background of JWST has given us the first high-fidelity images of the arcsecond-scale environment around Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs…

GATOS XI : Excess dust heating in the Narrow Line Regions of nearby AGN revealed with JWST/MIRI

Houda Haidar, David J. Rosario, Ismael García-Bernete +38

We present JWST/MIRI imaging of eight nearby Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from the GATOS survey to investigate the physical conditions of extended dust in their narrow line regions…

GATOS. VIII. On the physical origin of the extended MIR emission in AGN

Enrique Lopez-Rodriguez, Cristina Ramos Almeida, Miguel Pereira-Santaella +31

The polar mid-infrared (MIR) emission detected within 10-100s pcs in some active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been associated with dusty winds driven away by radiation pressure. The p…

The Compton-thick AGN Population and the Distribution of Low-mass AGN in our Cosmic Backyard

A. Annuar, D. M. Alexander, P. Gandhi +21

We present a census of the Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nucleus (AGN) population and the column density () distribution of AGN in our cosmic backyard using a mid-…
